Texas votes to lift ban on brass knuckles, kitty keychains and clubs

Hm. I guess that people are going to have to start being more polite to each other.

Cool ... so now I won't be breaking the law anymore carrying a baton while walking my dog .

Now we just need constitutional carry -- I shouldn't have to pay $$$ and go to classes to exercise a constitutional right

Civilized folks need some sort of active self-protection against the perfect voting horde.

All of these are potential life savers when you are being attacked by illegal aliens. All are also open to abuse by criminals. It is the illegal use, not the item, that should be a crime.

Oh yay!

It’s a HUMAN right to defend yourself.

The Constitution just protects that right

And why doesn’t apple capitalize Constitution or Trump in their auto-correct?

How about a roll of quarters?

THIS ^^^^

They made automatic knives legal, now hand grenades and suppressors for the win.

So now you can carry brass knuckles, but if you actually HIT someone with them it's assault with a deadly weapon.

Tried that once. Broke open on the first punch and quarters went flying.

a well armed society is a polite society

Interesting, and very odd. They just legalized numchucks in the state of Arizona three days ago....

Are nunchucks legal?

In the US of A, there are approximately 1,100 individual rights and many more additional privileges and immunities; however, unless you are able to articulate them, you cannot claim them. Sadly, not very many people care to learn what their rights are.

Awesome find bro! FINALLY our legislature is showing some common sense!
Now I can walk down town with a sword on my back, pig-sticker on my side, brass knuckles in my pocket while walking my pit bull!

no chainsaws?

I haven't had a pair of brass knuckles since I was teenager. I think every kid had a pair of those and nunchucks. I graduated to firearms so what's the point?

Until constitutional carry is passed, you still need permission from the government to carry a handgun. Not everyone CAN get a license, not everyone wants big brother knowing what they have.

Another issue: get pulled over, cop finds out you have CCL.... you could very well get shot for sneezing or reaching for your wallet/registration papers.

Keeping fresh powder in a cap & ball revolver becomes a hassle and cost-prohibitive.

While legal to do so... walking around with a rifle slung over your shoulder will draw extensive police harassment.

Work on getting your permit.

I alway walked with one anyways. Didn't give a shi and still don't. It was more for the dumbasses who let their animals roam and want to attack. One of my relatives walked with a cow prod. LOL

No. First off--- I'm not paying a wood nickel to be "allowed" to exercise a constitutional right. Secondly, my business is none of the governments damn business.

Well get caught with your pants down then! Play the fucking game while you can!

I hope you are a member of TSRA (Texas State Rifle Association). They have a paid lobbyist in Austin working on such issues. They are even more pro-2A than the NRA.

It's ridiculous these things were illegal to begin with.

I want to be able to carry a cattle prod with me at all times. Ready to light some mofos up.

Now they will say get rid of all guns because you have brass knuckles, kitty keychains and clubs.

This could be a setup.
